Works like a charm, cleans great, even pics up whole pecans that fall into the pool from the neighbor's tree.
Even my pool guy was amazed at what a great job it did.
Powerful suction! Climbs right up the pool walls, makes a horrible sound sucking in air, then drops back into the pool and down to the bottom. My dogs love it too....keeps then entertained when it tries to climb out of the pool.
Had to add a couple hose pieces as my pool is 32 feet long and it was short about 6 feet.
I bought this in June 2017 and it's never slowed down, stopped working, lost pieces, or broken in any way. It's a little workhorse that covers the entire pool from deep to shallow end, all the walls, and the pool is spotless!
Love this thing!
UPDATE: Four years later and it’s still working great! The only thing I’ve done is replace the blue treads each year as they get worn out after running every day all year. Simply peel off the old ones and slide on the new ones. Easy! They are quite cheap as well.
I have replaced the hoses once in 4 years due to the hot sun here in So Cal. But that has nothing to do with the vacuum itself. Other than that, I love this guy!
UPDATE #2: After 5 years of running daily for at least 6-8 hours a day, my little guy decided to retire. I got back on Amazon and ordered the exact same one. Set it up in no time, and it’s working great, just like my first one. For the price, I think 5 years of running 365 days a year makes this pool cleaner a great investment. My pool is always spotless and I it just keeps going. I hope to have another years with this guy!
UPDATE #3: Well, the second one stopped working in less than year. Tried everything to bring it back to life to no avail.
So, after researching and reading reviews I decided to buy the Hayward W32025ADC PoolVac XL Suction Pool Cleaner for In-Ground Gunite Pools here on Amazon. Great price and easy setup. This guy is fast, climbs walks, but not steps, and cleans great. Better than my previous guy!
